AN AMERICAN PARODY ON THE OLD SONG OF "RULE BRITANNIA"
When Britons first by heav'ns command, 
Arose from out the azure main, 
This was the charter of the land, 
And guardian angels sung this strain.
  Rule Britannia, rule the waves, 
  Britons never will be slaves.
. . . [8 more verses, with burden]
